Ok, so after 7 weeks of being on this site....my scale completely broke! I bought a new one and it weighed me 10lbs heavier than it had the week before!!!!! My roomate and my sister both got one too, and the same thing. Then i went to the doctor, and I was approx 12 lbs heavier, meaning I lost abour 2 lbs. So it made me reassess my goals........I've lost 18 lbs so far, but I need to be able to convert those weigh ins to what my weight REALLY was @ that time....10 lbs heavier. I also need to readjust my final goal. How do I do all this without starting a new profile? I also don't want to continue putting in my weight at 10 lbs lighter than what I weigh....I have a looooong road ahead of me, 18 lost and 98 to go!!!! I also want to make sure that my profile reflects the correct amount of weight lost....

HELP!!!

click the "my home" on the upper left of your screen, Then click on the "check in" tab. This screen will let you edit your weight.

First...I'm so sorry your scale was screwy...I had that happen a while ack. Uggggg!

So....

click HOME
then down at the bottom of that screen click CHECK IN
click EDIT PREVIOUS ENTRIES

Then change the numbers you need.

Happened when I got a new scale but the new one showed a 6 pound LOSS! That matched with my doctor's too, so I went with that. I went in and edited my initial weight to show 6 pounds lighter than I had originally logged in and that fixed it.

Shouldn't need to fix all of them just to have your ticker reflect your weight. Once you edit the starting weight, then enter what your weight is today, that should fix it.

As for the other things--goals, etc. it should auto reset once you enter today's weight--if it doesn't, go in and fix that using today's weight.

You can edit any of your previous entries, but the way you have to do it is delete the old entry, then add a new entry for that date.Go to My Home > Check In, then click the edit previous entries button. You should see your previous weight entries listed. At the bottom of the page is an area where you can add a new entry. Say you want to change the weight you entered on 6/20/08. Just fill in the correct weight in that area with a date of 6/20/08. The correct weight for that date should now be listed, but the incorrect weight is also still there. Just delete the incorrect weight and everything should now be listed properly.

Hope that helps. I'll see if I can make that whole editing process a bit easier at some point.
